Why not do a Delta for the ship in the museum. Heck, they could sell them there and through them on mail order. I'd also like to see the later Delta c/s on this (nathurally, lol). Why not Captial?
If you want to do the later Ozark, Trans Texas, and some others, yiou would need to add landing gear doors. They decided to "streamline" the 3 and maybe add a mile per hour to the cruising speed.
See, this is kinda what I was thinking about. Perhaps it becomes a series, release one every other month, make them a bit more collectable. Dare I say that this might attract more historian-type collectors to the hobby. I know that in the model railroad genre they do 'Heritage Series' type releases for steam locomotives. Why not a 'Classic Regional Airlines' in this scale, since the mould is good?
